Community Intervention

This assignment involves writing a 6-8 page paper that proposes a community intervention to a significant LOCAL community problem. This paper should reflect the content from all applicable assigned readings. The paper must be correctly referenced using American Psychological Association (APA) 6th edition guidelines. Special attention should be given to the correct style of referencing. Papers need to be original, typed, with fresh writing, clear thinking, and lucid analyses.

Please note that this is a graduate level course and the expectations are considerably higher than those at an undergraduate level. This research paper is intended to demonstrate your ability to apply a macro-level model of intervention to a real-life problem situation. The paper should be written in a formal, scholarly format.

In addition to reflected problem analysis, planned intervention and proposed change efforts, consider issues related to economics, social policies, political influences, and involvement of various levels of systems (individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities). Papers will be graded on quality of analysis, creativity, incorporation of theories and knowledge, and quality of writing.

Your selected problem should target one specific community or regional area and the content related to community assessment and resources should be specific to that community.

Presentation – you will be expected to present your identified problem, assessment data, and proposed solution to a body of LOCAL POLICY DECISION-MAKERS (such as city council, county commissioners, local school board, Council of Governments, public hearing on a particular issue, etc.). All communities have decision-making bodies that are open to public comment and input. However, you will need to find out the parameters of such input AHEAD OF TIME. Sometimes there is a time limit and advance request for permission to speak. Failure to present before an appropriate group will result in point deductions.

Use the supplemental information provided in the Models of Community Intervention handout (see Doc Sharing ) and the following outline to organize your paper. Be sure and go back to readings in your text for your proposed intervention.

Just like working with an individual or family, you will first identify the problem. Next you will identify what goals you’d like to achieve to address the problem. Then you identify various players that are involved and what change strategies you will employ (change tactics). Use Figure 18.1 (Community Intervention Models) on p. 283 of the handout as an overall guide.

You will pick a COMMUNITY PROBLEM that involves EITHER local level organizations, social issue organizations, or social planning/coordination organizations (one of the 3 columns on p. 283 of handout). Address each area of the outline below as it relates to your selected approach or model ie., local, social issue, or service planning/coordination)

Your paper will start with a PROBLEM (read p. 287 of handout) not a PROGRAM. Use information you learned about problems (ch. 3 from your text) and intervention (Ch. 5, 12 & 13) to help you.

Select a U.S. multinational company, and respond to the following questions:

Select a U.S. multinational company, and respond to the following questions:
In terms of currency denomination, describe how the firm prices its revenues and costs.
For multinational enterprises (MNEs) with multiple foreign operations, consider any 2 of those operations and the contribution they are making to the parent firm’s profits.
What means do they use to hedge against exchange rate risk?
Using this information, what do you think would be the effect of increases or decreases in the dollar’s exchange value on the firm’s profitability?
Be sure to show all applicable work.
Present your findings as a Word document of 7–10 pages formatted in APA style. Include 5–7 academic, peer-reviewed references that are relevant to and support the deliverable.
Submitting your assignment in APA format means, at a minimum, you will need the following:
Title page: Remember the running head AND THE TITLE IN ALL CAPITALS.
Abstract: This is a summary of your paper—not an introduction. Begin writing in third-person voice.
Body: The body of your paper begins on the page following the title page and abstract page and must be double-spaced (be careful not to triple- or quadruple-space between paragraphs). The type face should be 12-pt. Times Roman or 12-pt. Courier in regular black type. Do not use color, bold type, or italics except as required for APA-level headings and references. The deliverable length of the body of your paper for this assignment is 3–4 pages. In-body academic citations to support your decisions and analysis are required. A variety of academic sources is encouraged.
Reference page: References that align with your in-body academic sources are listed on the final page of your paper. The references must be in APA format using appropriate spacing, hang indention, italics, and upper- and lowercase usage as appropriate for the type of resource used. Remember, the Reference page is not a bibliography but a further listing of the abbreviated in-body citations used in the paper. Every referenced item must have a corresponding in-body citation.

End of Life Care Summary

Overview
Euthanasia, cloning, abortion, gene therapy, organ donation, eugenics, blood transfusions, vaccinations, surrogation, end-of-life issues, and physician-assisted suicide are a few of the bioethical issues facing society in healthcare. These issues affect every healthcare profession. An example of bioethical issues that eventually affect all of us are those associated with the end-of-life. It is wise to consider the use of advanced directives before one may be necessary. An advanced directive is a legal document that outlines specific details as to how an individual desires to have their wishes carried out on his/her behalf if they are no longer able to communicate and/or have died.
For patients to be sure their expectations for end-of-life are carried out as they desire for their healthcare, it will be helpful for them to have a living will, documents for DNR (do not resuscitate) orders, and required forms for organ and tissue donation. For this assignment, create a summary paragraph discussing what each document is, the importance of each document, and reasons why each document might be used in healthcare. Also, discuss any ethical dilemmas that may be present if these documents are not created prior to a person’s incapacitation or death.
Create a 1-2 page summary providing details about each of the forms: living wills, DNR orders, and tissue and organ donation options.
Be sure to discuss the importance of each document with details of a description of each one, the importance of each one, and provide at least 1 reason with an example as to how these forms would be useful in healthcare.
Use original content.
All sources must be cited using APA format.
